Small Teak Boat Canal Adventure - Weekday

One Day Local Experience on the Water

Are you curious about what is the old Thai living style like? If you can give us a day, we can take you away from the Bangkok City’s hassle and bustle and give you a glimpse of the canal-side life-style. This tour takes you on a journey by our small teak boat and you will get to see an eclectic and colorful scenery of the local canal-side communities. Weekday tours are more relaxing and more laid back than weekend tours. (We travel inside of canals only)

Available Monday through Friday

Join or Private Tour available (Please request a private tour a couple of days in advance)
